This video explores the question of why the sky is dark, examining key concepts such as the infinite nature of the Universe and Olber’s Paradox. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Why is the sky dark?

How is it that quantum physics governs the very smallest things in the universe, yet classical, Newtonian rules describe the movements of everything else, from people to planets? In the second of two ...

President Donald Trump has a fresh chance this week to act on a priority voters continually say they want fixed — but over which he’s in denial. The high and rising prices of health care, groceries ...

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And while we haven't found any evidence yet for anything outside our normal ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Executive coaching is incredibly valuable to leaders, but it can be hard to access at the moment they need it the most. Take a client of mine, “Simon,” a capable and newly promoted executive in a ...
